Vice President, Global Partners Office and Singapore Executive Office

About this role

The Global Partners Office (GPO) is a newly formed client business group responsible for helping the BlackRock organization deliver differentiated capital and strategic advice to the world’s most sophisticated clients as they look to engage more expansively and creatively with fewer providers. 

GPO partners cross-functionally to drive client strategy, coordination, and execution of cross-functional partnerships globally for a select set of our largest client relationships. GPO complements BlackRock’s existing coverage model to strengthen and institutionalize the firm’s C-suite connectivity and drive large commercial opportunities at the highest levels of client organizations.

The Singapore Executive Team plays a central role in advancing BlackRock’s commercial strategy in Singapore. The team focuses on strategic growth opportunities in Singapore, working in close partnership with local, regional and global stakeholders. This includes unlocking new revenue opportunities, scaling strategic partnerships, and positioning BlackRock’s full platform across investments, technology, and advisory to deliver differentiated client outcomes.

This dual-hat Vice President role sits at the intersection of global strategic client engagement and driving commercial outcomes in Singapore.

As an integral member of GPO, you will play a central role in deepening BlackRock’s firmwide partnership with our most complex and strategically significant clients, including global banks and the world’s leading asset owners such as sovereign wealth funds, pensions, and insurers. In this capacity, you will gain direct visibility into the most important strategic, capital, and investment objectives shaping these institutions and help address their most pressing challenges through thoughtful, cross-functional problem solving.  

In parallel, as part of the Singapore Executive Team, you will help shape and execute market-level strategic priorities, working closely with senior leadership to identify and drive growth opportunities across clients, products, and partnerships within Singapore.

The role provides exceptional exposure to global and regional leadership, including the Global Executive Committee and APAC senior management, investment teams, and the firm’s highest-priority products and capabilities, including many of our most innovative and future-oriented client offerings. You will develop an intricate understanding of the BlackRock ecosystem, working across businesses, regions, and functions to design and execute enterprise solutions that align with the long-term ambitions of our largest clients. You will join a collaborative, inquisitive, and high-performing team, and be positioned for significant growth as you help shape some of the firm’s most impactful client partnerships and commercial outcomes.
